Maybelline New York - Baby Skin Review!

I'M BACK! Haven't blogged since last year! Missed it so much!

Over time, as one beauty obsessive does, Ive built up a collection of new make up which I'm extremely excited to try! So I thought why not start with a review of one of them!

Pretty recently here in the UK, around a month ago, Baby Skin primer was launched by Maybelline after the massive success of the Baby Lips and has become one of my favourite primers!

The product it self looks pretty matte when out of the packaging and glides onto the skin very well. It claims to be an 'instant pore eraser' however due to my reasonably young skin I don't have massive pores so do not notice a difference in the visibility of them. BUT, it does make my skin feel sooo soft, just like the title would suggest! 

Visibly Matte looking formula

When I use it, i find the best results are to apply it down my T-Zone in the areas that would get a bit oily throughout the day and have found it doesn't stop all shine but for a primer which doesn't actually claim to stop shine - it does pretty well. I have once or twice applied it all over the face but i found because the rest of my face is pretty dry, it just seems a waste to apply it everywhere so instead i choose to save product. So i would suggest that if you have mega oily skin and need to wear primer daily all over the skin, that this might not be best for you - because of the size and how well it stops shine. An idea for an alternative, would be to invest in a higher end product such as Smashbox which is really reliable for shine and keeping make up on and the product would last a lot longer

Currently in the UK, in the main drugstores Boots and Superdrug it prices at £7.99 which is a reasonable price. Its not impossible to find something better for cheaper. For instance, I would say that MUA's Fashionista Mattifying Primer defiantly does a similar job for a much cheaper price of £2 (on the MUA website), but doesn't give the same soft finish that Baby Skin does.

It all depends on which job you want your primer to do on your skin

My First Post

My first blog post...what to write? I made this blog as an impulsive decision, as a project over the summer, to actually show emotion and express how i feel in different situations. My friends blame me for being heartless as i claim i would rather a pot noodle over flowers and as i cant deal public affection. This is my way to prove them wrong, to one day hopefully show them that i don't a black pit instead of a heart. This is the blog main purpose. I've always loved YouTube and would love that to be my career, however i don't believe i have the confidence to put myself out there on an extremely popular website where my content could be found by my class mates within a week or so, this is another purpose for this blog. So i can put myself out there, without fully putting myself out there. In a way that gives me more time to keep it to myself, along with putting out there for the public to hopefully get comments and advise on my posts. Therefore i will also include an aspect of my interests such as reviews and products. I fully understand that there are thousands, if not millions of beauty or make up blogs out there. Yes, this will include those things, but much more.

There it is, My first blog post. My aims for this blog, expression and opinion. So, stick around. Why not?
